What Causes Twitching In Eyes Along With Numbness In Fingers?

I have eye twitching, change in smelling and tasting, sleep trouble, numbness in fingers that turn colorless, and sometimes other facial twitching for a couple years, joint pain occasionally. I exercise pretty regularly, and I eat mostly healthy foods. I drink probably more than I should. I m female age 42.

hi,
the current symptoms are suggestive of brain pathology, such as focal ischemia, focal epilepsy, etc.
An underlying hypertension can predispose to such conditions. also look out for any minor or major trauma to brain.
An MRI brain is required to know the cause
thank you.
